"This is a comprehensive new operational military history of the Ottoman army during
the First World War. Drawing from archives, official military histories, personal
war narratives and sizable Turkish secondary literature, it tells the incredible story
of the Ottoman army's struggle from the mountains of the Caucasus to the deserts of
Arabia and the bloody shores of Gallipoli. The Ottoman army, by opening new fronts,
diverted and kept sizeable units of British, Russian and French forces away from the
main theatres and even sent reinforcements to Austro-Hungary and Bulgaria. Against
all odds the Ottoman army ultimately achieved some striking successes, not only on
the battlefield, but in their total mobilization of the empire's meagre human and
economic resources. However, even by the terrible standards of the First World War,
these achievements came at a terrible price in casualties and, ultimately, loss of
territory. Thus, instead of improving the integrity and security of the empire, the
war effectively dismantled it and created situations and problems hitherto undreamed
of by a besieged Ottoman leadership. In a unique account, Uyar revises our understanding
of the war in the Middle East"
